Smashed Dumpling Tacos
April 9, 2024
Smashed tacos are a recent trend that combines elements of both smash burgers and traditional tacos. These Smashed Dumpling Tacos are a fun and creative twist on the classic dumpling. They're made by taking the filling of a dumpling and pressing it into a tortilla, then frying it until crispy. Most recipes use ground pork, but I opted for the healthy option and used ground turkey. These are so good!
Directions
1Combine the green onions, ground meat, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, vinegar, and black pepper. Mix to combine, making sure all the seasoning is evenly spread throughout the meat.
2Mix the cucumber with rice vinegar and salt, then set aside.
3Assemble the tacos. Spoon a couple of tablespoons of the meat filling onto each mini tortilla, and use a spoon to press the mixture into a thin layer, ideally filling up one side of the tortilla.
4Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the topped tortillas, dumpling mixture down, onto the pan and use a spatula to press the tortilla into the pan. Cook for four minutes, then flip the tacos and cook for another minute, just to crisp up the tortilla. Remove from the pan, then repeat with the rest of the tortillas.
5Garnish and serve. Spoon the pickled cucumber onto each taco, then scatter over the set-green onions. Drizzle a little dumpling dipping sauce on top of each taco, and serve with more sauce on the side.
